1
So, what
2
do you have for lunch today?
3
Seriously, Terry.
4
You just ate a big hamburger for breakfast.
5
Now it's only 9am and you're already thinking about lunch.
6
You know I love food.
7
So what will you eat for lunch?
8
Hmm, maybe a sandwich or something.
9
I'm not too picky.
10
You have the flu.
11
I think you should have hot soup for lunch.
12
I'm craving sushi.
13
Sushi sounds good, but I could go for a big salad too.
14
Trying to eat healthier this week, huh?
15
Yeah, salads are always a safe bet.
16
Morning, everyone!
17
Morning, sir.
18
Sorry to interrupt, just a quick announcement.
19
Sure, sir, we're listening.
20
Starting today, there's a new rule.
21
Between 10 and 10.30, no one can use the emergency exit.
22
Uh, why, sir?
23
Is everything okay?
24
Don't worry, it's just a new rule.
25
So remember, between 10 and 10.30, no one can use the emergency exit.
26
Except for emergencies like fire or power outage, of course.
27
All right, back to work, everyone.
28
Have a good morning. Did you catch that?
29
What's up with the boss and his weird role?
30
I know, right?
31
Not using the emergency exit between 10 and 10.30.
32
Seems odd.
33
Yeah, like, why specifically during that time?
34
And why announce it out of nowhere?
35
Hey, Mark, how do you feel about the boss's strange announcement?
36
Um, we were just wondering what you make of it.
37
Any thoughts?
38
Honestly, I have no clue.
39
Seems odd, but maybe there's a reason behind it. Who knows?
40
He's trying to keep us in the dark about something.
41
Well, whatever it is, it's definitely stream.
42
I guess we'll have to wait and see if anything comes of it.
43
Agreed.
44
But I'm keeping an eye out for any more oddities from now on.
45
Get back to work!
46
Harry, Boston seemed all that different after the announcement.
47
Yeah, maybe we're just overthinking things.
48
Probably.
49
Let's just focus on our work for now.
50
Agreed.
51
It's probably nothing.
52
Do you see what I see?
53
I see what you see.
54
That black bag.
55
Boss just went toward the emergency exit with a black bag.
56
Yeah, that's strange.
57
I thought he said no one's allowed to use the emergency exit during this time.
58
And he changed his clothes.
59
He's wearing a white shirt now,
60
but this morning he wore a black shirt. So weird.
61
Hey, Mark!
62
How's the preparation for the launch of our new product at the end of the month going?
63
Oh, it's going well, sir.
64
We're finalizing the marketing strategy and ensuring everything is on track.
65
Excellent to hear.
66
Keep up the good work. Will do.
67
Thank you, sir.
68
Boss changed into a black shirt.
69
Yeah.
70
Should we say something or investigate?
71
I'm not sure.
72
I just remembered that I need to work to a deadline tomorrow.
73
True.
74
I also have to submit a report to the boss tomorrow.
75
I can't stop thinking about it, Gwen.
76
What do you think the boss is up to with all this secretive behavior?
77
Honestly, I have no idea, but it's driving me crazy.
78
Why the black bag?
79
Why did he change his shirt?
80
Do you think he's secretly practicing some weird ritual or something?
81
Or maybe he's involved in some kind of mystery operation.
82
You know, like a spy or something.
83
What's in that bag?
84
It's like a mystery waiting to be unraveled.
85
I know, let's make a guess.
86
Maybe it's filled with classified documents, or diamonds, or chocolate bars.
87
What if he's hiding a beautiful mistress somewhere?
88
Oh, please.
89
Maybe that's why he's always changing his shirt, trying to impress her or something.
90
Or maybe he just spills coffee on himself.
91
But seriously, I'm so curious.
92
Should we take a peek and see what he's really up to? Are you serious?
93
That's risky business.
94
Come on, Terry.
95
We'll never know unless we try.
96
Plus, think of the thrill of uncovering a secret.
97
Okay, fine.
98
But if we get caught, I'm blaming you.
99
Such a good friend.
100
Let's go.
101
Let's go.
102
Boss just went to the emergency exit.
103
I see.
104
Let's try to catch him in the act.
105
Agreed.
106
But let's be discreet, though.
107
I'll pretend to panic and you play your phone's emergency alarm.
108
Got it.
109
Get your phone ready.
110
Oh my gosh, what's going on?
111
Is there a fire?
112
What are you two doing here?
113
We heard the alarm and got worried.
114
What were you doing in here?
115
Why did you worry when that alarm is a false alarm? Is that a cat?
116
Cat?
117
Let's talk inside.
118
So, were you two spying on me?
119
No, sir, we were just curious, that's all That false alarm was our mistake Yeah,
120
we didn't mean any harm We were just trying to figure out what was going on Yes,
121
we apologize for any inconvenience It was unprofessional of us
122
No need to apologize It's partly my fault for implementing such a weird rule Can we ask why the cat is here?
123
Yeah, let me explain.
124
Every day at 10am, a stray cat comes to the emergency exit looking for food.
125
I really love cats, so I spend time with it, feeding and playing for 30 minutes.
126
That's unexpected.
127
But what about the black bag and your changing shirts?
128
The bag contains food for the cat, and I change shirts to avoid bringing cat hair home.
129
My wife is allergic, so I can't have a cat and only bring it in.
130
That's why.
131
But why did you create that new rule when you can still feed and play with your cat whenever you want?
132
Because I prefer to keep that private to maintain my strict image at work.
133
Ah, I see.
134
That makes sense.
135
But, sir, there's nothing to be ashamed of for loving animals.
136
In fact, it's admirable.
137
Yeah, I like animal lovers.
138
You're right.
139
I suggest you consider keeping the cat in the office, sir.
140
Yeah, it creates a positive environment in our office.
141
You think so?
142
Absolutely.
143
Imagine if we all took turns caring for the cat.
144
It could be a symbol of good luck for the company.
145
It would bring us all closer together as a team.
146
You know what?
147
That actually sounds like a great idea.
148
Sorry again anyway, sir.
149
Well, next time, maybe just ask me directly if you're curious about something.
150
Yes, sir.
151
We'll keep that in mind.
152
By the way, I need to know your progress on the project.
153
As I remember, today's the deadline.
154
Yeah, sure.
155
We're almost done.
156
Yeah, we'll have it ready before the end of the day.
157
Promise.
158
us.
159

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
